During our next visit.
After placing our order as per usual, Roy abandoned me at the table and went to chat with the girl he was interested in.
He was quick to find out their names — Karlene Lee and Shuri Lee.
As he was busy flirting with Karlene at the counter, Shuri came over with my order.
This time, she brought two glasses of iced coffee.
"Sir, I noticed you drank more iced coffee previously. I thought you could try a black one and a milk one this time," she said, her voice soft and attentive.
"You don't have to do this," I rejected her thoughtful gesture.
Instead of getting offended, she simply smiled. "Then, which one would you like me to take back?"
I realized she was making me choose, and I knew that if I gave my usual nonchalant reply, she would keep giving me extra orders.
"The black one," I blurted out without really thinking.
Then I heard her let out a soft chuckle. "So, you like ice milk coffee."
I looked at her, feeling a bit awkward by her conclusion.
